Alcohol in moderation?

The FDA can sit on their pyramid and rotate.

Alcohol in moderation?

I don't drink, so that's never been a problem for me. However, for low carbers who do, their alcohols of choice are:

1. Hard liquors of the non-sweet variety. (No carbs)

2. Dry wines. (About 1 carb per ounce)

3. Miller Lite beer (3 carbs per 12 ounces).

Note, however, that your body will burn alcohol calories (1 gram of alcohol is about 7 calories) ahead of ANY OTHER type (fat, protein, carb). So, if you're low carbing and stalled, look to see how many alcohol calories you're consuming.
